Once you did this you'll have to modify and reflash your boot image,
this link should help with that:

Wow Gabriele,
where on earth did you find that fellows blog?!? I struggled for a good
week before I found Edu & Ginn's posts that put
everything together. That's why I went through that rather long post to
Roland, I didn't think anyone had that posted
anywhere on the web because I didn't find much! I even tried googling
just a minute ago and that blog doesn't show up unless
you very specifically search with that fellows name (Chellinsky) and
even then I only got a reddit article that referenced his blog. How do
we get his google rating up? because other ZTE Open owners should be
able to easily find that post.
After a week of tinkering in my off work hours I had a VERY big sense of
accomplishment after I cobbled together my
first working Open build but I would've traded that sense of
accomplishment for the blog address since it would've had me
up and running on the first day in 'maybe' an hour at most LOL!
He does do a couple things I'm not keen on like using CWM and he says to
place the "chmod" lines in init.rc after line ?280?
The place I used in init.rc is between lines 111 & 112 which I found by
looking in a working boot.img found on XDA from an
untrusted source (the poster doesn't tell who built the boot.img so I
didn't trust it enough to run it but I looked in it for
answers). I couldn't seem to get the boot.img working with any other
placement for the "chmod" lines btw, I assume since
the system partition is remounted RO after line 111.
To confirm I have gotten both 1.4 and (accidentally) 1.5 running on my
Open. I built 1.4 on purpose and played with it for a
minute. 1.5 I accidentally built after I setup my build environment for
the second time (I'm not familiar with git so I screwed
something up and decided to start over). I just used config and build
without the BRANCH= option and then flashed it and
found 1.5. Just like 1.4 I played for a minute then went back to 1.3. I
don't know if the current source tree can build working
1.4/1.5 for Inari but I know that my tree hasn't been updated since I
originally set it up weeks ago (so if anybody wants to
know the version of the source I've built with, just tell me how to find
it and I'll share). I still have the 1.4 & 1.5 builds laying
around but I haven't played with them much so I can't comment on their
stability.
